EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the Southern Opossum, a remarkable marsupial species found in the southern regions. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print is an exquisite piece of art that captures the essence of these unique creatures. The attention to detail in this illustration is truly astounding. The illustrator, Johann Eberhard Ihle, and engraver, Johann Nusbiegel, have meticulously depicted every aspect of the opossum's appearance with precision and accuracy. From its distinctive fur patterns to its long tail and pointy snout, every feature has been beautifully brought to life. Originally published as part of "A Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber between 1774 and 1855, this engraving serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic talent. It offers us a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating mammals. The Southern Opossum is commonly known for its pouch-like abdomen where it carries and nurtures its young ones. This print allows us to appreciate their unique characteristics while also highlighting their importance within our ecosystem. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts in preserving historical artwork like this one from German culture, we can now admire this enchanting depiction without any copyright restrictions. Let this mesmerizing image transport you back in time as you marvel at nature's wonders through artistry and scientific observation.
